Every year, as the weather changes, so does my wardrobe. It’s finally time to switch out your summer cutoffs, tank tops, and sneakers and reach for transitional items like boots, sweaters, and jackets that are perfect for fall. When it comes to dressing for fall weather this year, there’s one trend that stands out in the outerwear category. It’s a barn jacket.
The highly wearable barn jacket follows the Western Americana movement seen in the pop culture zeitgeist over the past few months. However, unlike some Western clothing styles, barn jackets are lightweight, perfect for layering in finicky fall weather, and easy to style.
It’s time to retire that slouchy hoodie or that denim jacket you no longer enjoy. Shop this season’s favorite barn jackets below.
Everlane has released a western-inspired fall line that includes this barn jacket in three neutral shades. It’s made from durable organic cotton and is easily machine washable. Size up for the perfect oversized look.
This is not your grandfather’s barn jacket. Opting for a cropped length is an easy way to make this trend look a little fresher. Plus, you can easily show off your favorite jeans or high-rise pants in a shorter style. This affordable piece from ASOS features the same relaxed fit that the Barn Jacket is known for, but is cropped at the waist. It features a corduroy collar and comes in a light greystone hue, a fun departure from the traditional khaki or brown colors of most barn jackets.
The taupe color of this A&F jacket makes it very wearable whether you pair it with a neutral or colorful look. This is machine washable, so it’s easy to have in your everyday fashion arsenal. Who has time for dry cleaning in the fourth quarter? Personally, I pair it with my favorite black mini boots and knee-high boots.
You won’t have to worry about getting caught in a fall rainstorm with this budget-friendly jacket. Durable and water-resistant, the waxed Cabunas Jacket features a cozy flannel shirt lining for extra warmth, perfect for chilly days.
Similar to the traditional workwear barn jacket, this one from Old Navy falls well below the waist, is khaki, and has a brown corduroy collar. Zipper and snap closures provide added security and are perfect for pairing with baggy jeans or skinny black pants.
